The life on the earth is alive because of people still do trust other... if someone deceit us does not means that we should stop believing other. if everyone distrust others, life will come to end. All the cause of charity / donations are good in itself and we should continue irrespective of a few of them are not worth. if we can identify then that is best, but not, we should not stop helping other. Hardik rightly said, we should take / refer these differently abled people to respect NGOs. where we give money or not

I still feel we should give money to beggar. As No one knows. He must have extreme need for money. May be for medicines. I had seen many beggars who are really really need for money after going deeply into their homes and condition. Pls help beggars God has given you money. You will not get impact for giving them.

@C.A. Nadeem Dear Nadeem, I have tried to convey hazards of petty donations to beggars. In second last para, I have made emphasize to give donations to those NGOs who are actually working for upliftment of poor people. in each religious book, donations to poor people is mentioned as virtue. but , we should take care that our donation truely helpful to poor guy or not. it is our social obligation to curb human trafficking and implement fair practice towards hardworking person.

Very Nice Article, Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) has rightly said HAND WHICH GIVES IS MUCH BETTER THAN HAND WHICH COLLECTS (BY BEGGING) (DENE WALAA HATH LENE WAALE HAATH SE BEHTAR HAI) Really begging has become the business due to which many teenager & young man & women becomes habitual to lazy work.. but on the other part efforts should be made at government as well as at personal level to cover up necessities of common citizen, because genuine (especially old age person) in need, if any, should not remain undiscovered. Hardik Sir Thanks for Sharing such a nice article...

@Kalpesh Correct Kalpesh. before giving donations, we should check activities of NGO. As many NGOs are engaged in converting black money into white

Great Article! I saw many times 60-70 years old woman collecting plastics from garbage and earning through this. She does not beg. She is earning independently. From that day onwards, I never give any rupees to beggars.
